Chapter 398 Taking it all back
"Aren't you busy? What brings you to the palace today?"
When Da Ya arrived, Ye Wan was reviewing memorials and talking to Da Ya at the same time.
She's now focused on finishing what she needs to do, and then she can rest and relax.
She could go along to listen to the grand court assembly, but Lin Anyuan could go to the smaller ones. If she had to attend court every day, even a donkey would be exhausted, let alone a human.
The main problem is that I have to get up too early for court. When I was an official, I could ask for leave, but I can't now.
Da Ya didn't hide anything from Ye Wan and told the truth, "Chu Xiujie's sister came looking for me, so I came out to hide for a while."
Chu Rouxuan's husband defiled a young girl, who then committed suicide. The girl's family sent Chu Rouxuan's husband to prison.
Unfortunately, Chu Rouxuan was out of her mind and tried to use her connections to get her man out.
What's the use of begging her? It's clearly written in the law. Does she want to lead the way in breaking the law?
Ye Wan frowned, "Once you get married, all sorts of messy things happen. It's better when you're alone."
Ye Wan had met Chu Rouxuan once; she was a fool.
There's a saying that goes something like this: it's not the cunning of bad people that's scary, it's the sudden inspiration of fools.
Da Ya smiled and said, "I don't have any parents-in-law in the Chu family. I'm in charge of everything at home and outside. The only problem is that I have a meddlesome sister-in-law who isn't even a blood relative, but there's nothing to be angry about."
"Nothing in this world is perfect, Mother, don't you think?"
Ye Wan looked at Daya and said, "You live life so clearly, even more clearly than I do."
After saying this, Ye Wan felt like Hui Gu and couldn't help but laugh.
“We are all just ordinary people. If you have nothing to do today, you can stay in the palace for one night and go back tomorrow.”
Let Chu Rouxuan make a scene outside the door if she wants; she can't see or hear it anyway.
No matter where you go about it, her husband is always the one who is guilty.
Ye Wan despises this kind of person.
"That's what I think too." Daya saw her mother holding a special pen, and the characters she wrote were clever and elegant.
Some of her feelings were quite poignant, as her mother always surprised her with her unexpected actions.
Where is Dad?
"Your dad's busy, don't ask him, he's such a jealous old man." Ye Wan's face darkened whenever she thought about it.
Somehow, the old vinegar was spilled again, and it's been giving her a hard time ever since.
"If Dad hears you calling him an old jealous pot, he'll definitely be upset again." Da Ya said jokingly, helping Ye Wan pick out the less important documents.
Most of the messages on the petitions were greetings and well wishes. These petitions were marked, but some had been mixed in. Da Ya carefully picked them out and actually managed to find one.
After glancing at the contents, Da Ya placed it beside Ye Wan.
"How did the seed shortage in Ping'an County end up in the report of official greetings?" Ye Wan frowned, picked it up and looked at it.
"Tell your father about this later and have him send an imperial envoy down to patrol."
Staying in an official position for too long can breed parasites. These people actually buried such an important matter as the lack of seeds in their memorials to the emperor. If it hadn't been brought up today, wouldn't the people of Ping'an County have been delayed?
Da Ya remained silent; it was best for her not to offer any opinions at this time.
After finishing dealing with the memorials at hand, Ye Wan washed her hands and looked at Daya.
Daya's belly is already quite big.
Ye Wan touched her hand and said, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I'm going to be a grandmother again."
I still feel like Daya is a child, and now she's going to be a mother.
"Since you've come to the palace today, let the imperial physicians examine you."
Knowing that Ye Wan felt sorry for her, Da Ya let the imperial physician take her pulse.
Fortunately, although Daya looked thin, the baby in her womb was perfectly healthy.
Imperial Physician Jiang Yun secretly told Ye Wan that Daya was carrying a girl.
Ye Wan gave the gifts and instructed, "Whether it's a man or a woman, it doesn't matter, just don't say this in front of the eldest princess."
Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all children loved by everyone, but saying it might make people think that they prefer boys.
As for Chu Xiujie, he's so old, it's like an old cow eating young grass. Whether it's his son or daughter, he'll happily accept it. If he still dares to complain, he'll skin him alive.
Ye Wan felt that she was sometimes quite unreasonable.
"I don't know if Er Ya will be able to come back after you give birth. That girl is really too brave. The Pei family has even submitted a memorial asking for a formal title."
Ye Wan felt embarrassed thinking about Pei's eldest and second eldest brothers, who were officials in the imperial court. She even knew Pei San, but her daughter had slept with Pei's fourth brother...
Da Ya laughed, "She should be able to come back. She promised me she would, but I don't know if she will come back alone or with others."
...
...
Achoo!
Er Ya sneezed loudly and couldn't help but rub her nose.
"I wonder who's talking about me right now, probably my mom misses me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Why are you following me, Pei Zhixuan? Are you out of your mind? I need to use the restroom, and you're coming with me!"
She ran into Pei Zhixuan as soon as she came out of the outhouse, and her anger reached its peak.
This person has been following her around like glue for the past few days, and now he even follows her to the toilet. Is he out of his mind?
Pei Zhixuan said with a serious expression, "If I don't follow you, you'll turn around and run away and disappear. Where will I find you then?"
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Pei Zhixuan felt a slight burning sensation in his ears; the two of them actually...
Thinking back to that day when he almost thought another woman had entered his room, he felt like the sky had fallen. But it turned out to be her. This feeling made him feel... well, he didn't know how to say it.
"It was an accident. Haven't I told you many times? It was an accident. We were both drunk and somehow ended up sleeping together. Pei Zhixuan, I'm a perfectly innocent young woman. Don't act like you're the one who got the short end of the stick."
Er Ya couldn't help but feel a headache as she spoke. Who would have thought that this person could come back? And she just happened to be overheard.
Now she's clinging to me like a leech, even following me to the outhouse. I'm really fed up.
“That was my…first time, it was meant for my new wife. What if my future wife dislikes me for doing this?” Pei Zhixuan said, his face turning red.
"I'm speechless." Er Ya was utterly dumbfounded.
Looking at Pei Zhixuan with a troubled expression, she asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"You want a formal title?"
“Pei Zhixuan, your feelings for me are just temporary. In a few years, they will fade and we will grow tired of each other. So there is no need for us to get married.”
Pei Zhixuan suddenly spoke very seriously, "Since the Second Princess thinks I'm just a passing fancy, she can just kick me aside when the novelty wears off. Doesn't the Second Princess have that kind of courage?"
He heard from others that liking a young woman means wanting to sleep with her, and once you've slept with her, you don't like her as much anymore.
But now that he's slept with her, he still likes it very much.
Er Ya stroked her chin. "Don't try to provoke me. Do you need to tell me? But Pei Zhixuan, have you thought this through? I'm a fickle person. If I find someone else and leave you, don't cry and make a scene."
We have to get the ugly truth out of the way first. He's so rich now, it's not surprising if he keeps ten or eight male lovers.
Pei Zhixuan pursed his lips, "It's your heart that likes someone else, but whether I can keep your heart is my skill."
Er Ya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Since she was going to sleep with men anyway, she would sleep with the one she thought was the most handsome. She wouldn't lose out anyway.
"Then come with me, and I'll marry you on this trip back to Beijing."
